Updated Fantasy Football Week 2 Trade Value for Top 50 NFL Players

Timothy Rapp

Championships were won! Seasons were lost! Every preconceived notion from before the 2026 campaign was proven true or false!

OK, OK, so none of that happens after one week of the NFL season, despite the sweeping highs—or despairing lows—you may be feeling following your first fantasy matchup. And for that reason, Week 2 of the trade value chart isn't going to look drastically different than it did in Week 1.

Nonetheless, if you are feeling antsy about your roster and ready to swing some deals, consider it a tool at your disposal. One week of games is the tiniest of sample sizes, however, so perhaps exercise some patience with your roster.

TOP NEWS

Players who would be ranked in the 51-100 range have a trade value between six and two. Players below the top-100 range have a value of one. Trade values are based on PPR scoring, so adjust according to your league's particular scoring settings. May the fantasy points be with you!

We aren't going to be overly concerned with Colston Loveland's brutal 2026 debut (zero catches, two targets) given how good he was in the second half of last season and the playoffs. Plus, just about everything else was working for Chicago's offense on Sunday.

In other words, expect the game flow to go his way in other matchups. Don't panic just yet.

Kenneth Walker's massive debut with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday night (23 carries for 173 yards and a touchdown; one reception for 19 yards) didn't feel like an aberration.

Walker isn't always going to match that production, but his usage and the production that followed was wildly impressive, especially considering it came against a very good Denver defense. He's a player who is now climbing up the trade value chart.

Another potential riser is Ashton Jeanty (23 carries for 102 yards; six catches for 45 yards and two scores), who looked like the player we were expecting in 2025. Some of his receiving production might take a hit once Brock Bowers returns, but his usage numbers were extremely promising.
